Assembling A Crime Wave
An inside look at manufacturing the news
Alec Karakatsanis
Today, I want to talk about moral panics. Moral panics about different kinds of crime almost always lead to vast expansion of the machinery of state repression, whether they be this absolutely bizarre “crime wave” reported by the press in Victorian England or contemporary U.S. moral panics like the 1980s “crack babies,” the 1990s “super predators,” or the absurd 2021-2022 “organized retail theft.” They can also be acute creations of a particular news moment, such as when local and national media did 309 articles about a single Walgreen’s shoplifting incident in 2021.
So, how do moral panics happen?
I. Moral panics are creations of elites in journalism, politics, and the punishment bureaucracy
Because I have little else to do when I’m not in court other than play with cats, I have a lot of conversations with people about crime.
Many of my conversations are with my clients, community organizers we work with, and survivors of violence. But I also try to have conversations with elites who are in a position to shape how the punishment bureaucracy functions, including journalists, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, politicians, philanthropists, researchers, lobbyists, non-profit employees, professors, etc. Because of how much propaganda there is in our culture about which social harms policymakers should treat urgently and what solutions to those problems we take seriously, it’s important to talk as much as possible about how we should think about holistic safety in order to counter some of the pathologies of mainstream propaganda.
One of many notable things from these conversations is how focused many professional class elites are, at any given moment, on their belief that there is some sort of “crime wave” happening. Professional elites are routinely in a state of panic about crime. (By this I mean a narrow range of crimes for which police arrest mostly poor people.) I have experienced this in city after city. I have also experienced it nationally, especially since 2020, when many journalists and politicians I spoke with invoked concepts like a “surge” in retail theft, “rampant” crime on public transit, crime generally being “out of control,” or fomenting a panic about “carjacking” in D.C. to get Congress to block new D.C. revisions of its code.
This state of moral panic is so self-evident to these professional news consumers that a common refrain among them is to accuse anyone raising skepticism about the moral panic du jour of being an “elitist” who is “out of touch” with the most marginalized communities. I have had so many conversations, both over email and in person, with fancy people who have never meaningfully participated in fighting state repression of vulnerable people accusing me of not caring about vulnerable people because I have questioned their urgent prioritizaion of a particular extant news narrative about crime. This is actually a go-to move for elite pundits: anyone not reaffirming the narrative that crime by poor people is “out of control” at any given moment—and anyone not responding to that problem with proposals of more prisons and police—doesn’t care about poor communities or communities of color.
The certainty of many elites in their perceptions about crime and safety reminds me of a passage from the best book on the subject of propaganda that I’ve ever read. It’s a 1950s book called Propaganda by Jacques Ellul, and I could not recommend it more highly. The introduction to the English translation of the book by another scholar explains why Ellul believed “intellectuals” to be:
“virtually the most vulnerable of all to modern propaganda, for three reasons: 1) they absorb the largest amount of secondhand, unverifiable information; 2) they feel a compelling need to have an opinion on every important question of our time, and thus easily succumb to opinions offered to them by propaganda on all such indigestible pieces of information; 3) they consider themselves capable of “judging for themselves.” They literally need propaganda.”
There is a lot to say about journalists and other professional class elites panicking about the morally dangerous behavior of poor people. Two preliminary points are important always to state, and so I say them again before getting to today’s main attraction:
The subjective view that there is an urgent “crime wave” is often accompanied by an irrational and contrary-to-the-evidence assertion that the “wave” or “surge” must mean we should tweak some kind of policy within the punishment bureaucracy. In fact, the “wave” or “surge” is often specifically manufactured by self-interested groups and complicit journalists precisely to have some political impact, whether it be the recall election of a DA whose policies they don’t like or blocking a bail reform bill or fear-mongering about slight shifts in budgets of police and prisons. It is utterly common, therefore, for the media to connect, without any empirical evidence, “surges” in crime with something like bail reform, defunding police, lower sentences, or slightly different prosecutorial charging policies. I see this news commentary every day, and the mere juxtaposition of these policy tweaks with statements about huge shifts in “crime” is itself like climate science denial. All of it is nonsense: these little tweaks in punishment policy pale in comparison as factors determining police-reported “crime” to root causes like: inequality, poverty, access to health care, early childhood education, housing, vibrant community programs, the number of guns manufactured, general alienation and disconnection of people in our contemporary society, etc…
Professional elites rarely experience a moral panic or subjective feeling of a “crime wave” or “surge” about crimes like wage theft, water pollution, foreclosure fraud, tax evasion, air pollution, building safety code violations, prison guard brutality, illegal police spying, political corruption, sexual assault of migrant detainees, or other crimes that are rampant and cause objectively higher levels of harm. They seem only to obsess urgently about some crimes committed by some people, and this obsession is usually not correlated with any objective assessment of overall threat to well-being. I have written about how the criminal punishment bureaucracy largely ignores the crimes of powerful people while ruthlessly and selectively targeting poor and marginalized people, and I have written many times in this newsletter with a wide range of examples about how media coverage of crime distorts what we see as urgent. I recommend reading those pieces.
II. Why does the news constructing a continuous stream of moral panics matter?
In addition to the more qualitative problems I have discussed in the linked pieces above with our society’s mass delusions about what the greatest threats to safety are and how to solve them, we can see immediate, striking effects of the constant cycle of news coverage about “crime waves” and “crime surges” in the categories of crime for which police arrest mostly the poor.
One consequence of the views of elites on crime waves—particularly elites who control the curation of anecdote that passes for corporate daily news—is that the U.S. public has become dizzyingly uninformed. Take a look at the chart below. You’ll see that people consistently believe that crime is rising in the U.S.
These numbers are similar dating back to 2002—every year since then most people believed crime was up. But, in that 20-year period, actual police-recorded crime went down almost every year. Most people were wrong. But it’s actually much more interesting than that. When asked about crime in their own area, people were much more accurate. So, when relying more on their own social networks and first-hand experiences, people are less uninformed than when relying solely on secondhand information through the media.1
This is interesting background, but here in this post, I want to share with you a fantastic and relatively obscure story about how these moral panics come to be produced.
Background on moral panics
The seminal work on this subject is Stuart Hall’s 1978 book Policing the Crisis, in which some of the leading social theorists in modern English history dissected how the British police, courts, and news media manufactured a moral panic about “mugging” that resulted in increased punishment and prosecution of Black immigrant youth from British colonies. Even though the book was written 45 years ago, it is such a profound, necessary examination of the topic that I am constantly recommending to any journalist serious about understanding the broader forces that shape what they think about as public safety news. It’s so good, and so much better than anything I could ever write, that I can’t believe there are people who cover crime without having read it!
But another, much shorter and fun account is Mark Fishman's 1980 book, Manufacturing the News, which was recommended to me by journalism professor Jay Rosen. Because the book is online, I am able to reproduce a key passage below that tells one anecdote from Fishman’s ethnographic research inside newsrooms. If you are a journalist, please read it. Fishman describes in delightful detail how a group of newsrooms can simply manufacture a “crime wave” out of whole cloth, even with everyone acting in good faith:
I hope this was useful. The passage combines several themes from my recent writing, including why it is so important that police spend massive amounts of public money on public relations infrastructure, which has significantly increased since Fishman observed the utility to police of their PR teams in 1976. The passage also illustrates the groupthink that I have identified in contemporary newsrooms, and how that groupthink leads to objectively bizarre conceptions of what things about the world should be a news story and how those news stories should be told. It also captures well some elements of the social, cultural, bureaucratic, and economic forces that lead journalists to focus on certain kinds of crimes and to ignore others.
1
People’s perceptions of crime in their general area are also far from accurate and subject to various forms of manipulation. This is especially true with the rise of apps and group discussion forums like NextDoor and Citizen, whose business model is to create engagement by driving a culture of fear.

The Museum of Broken Windows aims to explore what New York City could be like if funds were diverted from the police
Co-curators Daveen Trentman and Terrick Gutierrez have wallpapered the foyer (and, they add with a chuckle, the bathroom) with printouts of damning bar graphs and news articles chronicling the innumerable measures by which current mayor and former NYPD captain Eric Adams has funneled the power of capital toward his old buddies. But within, the creative personal statements in an array of mediums emphasize the human stakes of a public debate many still treat as an intellectual exercise. As one wall declares in bold red text, the police are defunding us, and we can’t afford to wait much longer to turn those tables.
“You can’t have a movement with just words,” says Donna Lieberman, executive director of the NYCLU. “Words are good. But movements are made of people. Images grab you and make themselves understood in a way that words can’t. Anyone can walk in off the street and appreciate the impact of our almost police-addicted society.”

Trump University: It’s Worse Than You Think
By John Cassidy
June 2, 2016
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University
Trump University (also known as the Trump Wealth Institute and Trump Entrepreneur Initiative LLC) was an American company that ran a real estate training program from 2005 until 2010. It was owned and operated by The Trump Organization. A separate organization, Trump Institute, was licensed by Trump University but not owned by The Trump Organization. In 2011, amid multiple investigations, lawsuits and student complaints, it ceased operations.[2] It was founded by Donald Trump and his associates, Michael Sexton and Jonathan Spitalny, in 2004. The company offered courses in real estate, asset management, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation.[3]
Despite its name, the organization was not an accredited university or college. It conducted three- and five-day seminars (often labeled "retreats") and used high-pressure tactics to sell these to its customers.[4] It did not confer college credit, grant degrees, or grade its students.[5] In 2011, the company became the subject of an inquiry by the New York Attorney General's office for illegal business practices which resulted in a lawsuit filed in August 2013.[6] An article in the National Review described the organization as a "massive scam".[7]
Trump University was also the subject of two class actions in federal court. The lawsuits centered around allegations that Trump University defrauded its students by using misleading marketing practices and engaging in aggressive sales tactics. The company and the lawsuits against it received renewed interest due to Trump's candidacy in the 2016 presidential election. Despite repeatedly insisting he would not settle, Trump settled all three lawsuits in November 2016 for a total of $25 million after being elected president.[

Fifth Circuit Tells Bad Cop That Being Placed On The ‘Do Not Call’ List For Witnesses Does Not Violate His Rights
Legal Issues
from the 'being-a-cop'-is-not-a-right dept
Thu, May 4th 2023 08:08pm - Tim Cushing
If cops screw up enough, they may get blacklisted by prosecutors. These lists — known as “Brady” or “Giglio” lists (depending on jurisdiction) — inform prosecutors that they may not want to ask these officers to testify due to their long histories of misconduct.
Most lawsuits generated by cops appearing on these lists deal with the lists themselves. Defense attorneys are often denied access to these lists, preventing them from challenging testimony from cops even prosecutors feel are too untrustworthy to provide their insight in normal criminal prosecutions.
This lawsuit is an anomaly. It’s being brought by Manuel Adams, an officer who managed to ascend to the position of captain over his 18 years with the Harahan (Louisiana) Police Department. Louisiana is especially forgiving of its worst cops. So is the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is the appellate district most likely to award qualified immunity to rights-violating officers

Trump University: It’s Worse Than You Think
By John Cassidy
June 2, 2016
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University
Trump University (also known as the Trump Wealth Institute and Trump Entrepreneur Initiative LLC) was an American company that ran a real estate training program from 2005 until 2010. It was owned and operated by The Trump Organization. A separate organization, Trump Institute, was licensed by Trump University but not owned by The Trump Organization. In 2011, amid multiple investigations, lawsuits and student complaints, it ceased operations.[2] It was founded by Donald Trump and his associates, Michael Sexton and Jonathan Spitalny, in 2004. The company offered courses in real estate, asset management, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation.[3]
Despite its name, the organization was not an accredited university or college. It conducted three- and five-day seminars (often labeled "retreats") and used high-pressure tactics to sell these to its customers.[4] It did not confer college credit, grant degrees, or grade its students.[5] In 2011, the company became the subject of an inquiry by the New York Attorney General's office for illegal business practices which resulted in a lawsuit filed in August 2013.[6] An article in the National Review described the organization as a "massive scam".[7]
Trump University was also the subject of two class actions in federal court. The lawsuits centered around allegations that Trump University defrauded its students by using misleading marketing practices and engaging in aggressive sales tactics. The company and the lawsuits against it received renewed interest due to Trump's candidacy in the 2016 presidential election. Despite repeatedly insisting he would not settle, Trump settled all three lawsuits in November 2016 for a total of $25 million after being elected president.[

Mozilla Wonders What Social Media Could Look Like If It Started With A Clear ‘No Assholes’ Policy
Content Moderation
from the experiments-are-good dept
Tue, May 9th 2023 11:57am - Mike Masnick
Content moderation at scale is impossible to do well. And, contrary to what most people believe, a huge part of content moderation is not “we have to suppress this content that scares us,” but just an attempt to “stop people from being jerks to others.” Unfortunately, too many people get confused, and think that “free speech” means they get to commandeer private property to be assholes to others, which results in confusing fights over people claiming their “free speech” is under attack when the reality is that a private property owner has decided you need to stop being an @#$#%@!.
But what if a social media network came along and just said upfront: our policy is no assholes and we’re not ashamed to say we’ll kick you out if you’re being a @#!!$#!%?
As I’ve been discussing lately, I’m excited about the various new experiments with decentralized, protocol-based social media, because it allows for much more experimentation, and because it enables both services and users to opt-in to what they feel comfortable with. More competition can mean both more innovation (perhaps leading to new insights!), but also more communities trying different things and taking wildly different approaches, allowing users to

The UK government still hopes to bend the internet to its will, but it’s constantly finding out it won’t be as easy as just declaring a bunch of stuff illegal. Tech companies from all over the world would be affected by its “Online Safety Bill” (originally more proactively titled the “Online Harms Bill“). Negatively affected.
The push continues to outlaw things like end-to-end encryption, expand the government’s power to directly regulate internet communications, and otherwise make everyone more miserable (and less safe, ironically).

Mozilla Wonders What Social Media Could Look Like If It Started With A Clear ‘No Assholes’ Policy
Content Moderation
from the experiments-are-good dept
Tue, May 9th 2023 11:57am - Mike Masnick
Content moderation at scale is impossible to do well. And, contrary to what most people believe, a huge part of content moderation is not “we have to suppress this content that scares us,” but just an attempt to “stop people from being jerks to others.” Unfortunately, too many people get confused, and think that “free speech” means they get to commandeer private property to be assholes to others, which results in confusing fights over people claiming their “free speech” is under attack when the reality is that a private property owner has decided you need to stop being an @#$#%@!.
But what if a social media network came along and just said upfront: our policy is no assholes and we’re not ashamed to say we’ll kick you out if you’re being a @#!!$#!%?
As I’ve been discussing lately, I’m excited about the various new experiments with decentralized, protocol-based social media, because it allows for much more experimentation, and because it enables both services and users to opt-in to what they feel comfortable with. More competition can mean both more innovation (perhaps leading to new insights!), but also more communities trying different things and taking wildly different approaches, allowing users to

Wikipedia Tells UK Government It Won’t Comply With Proposed Age Verification Mandates

Tue, May 9th 2023 10:44am - Tim Cushing
The UK government still hopes to bend the internet to its will, but it’s constantly finding out it won’t be as easy as just declaring a bunch of stuff illegal. Tech companies from all over the world would be affected by its “Online Safety Bill” (originally more proactively titled the “Online Harms Bill“). Negatively affected.
The push continues to outlaw things like end-to-end encryption, expand the government’s power to directly regulate internet communications, and otherwise make everyone more miserable (and less safe, ironically).

CONTRACT KILLER
BY WILLIAM HOFFMAN & LAKE HEADLEY
Who killed Jimmy Hoffa? ``I pumped two slugs into Hoffa's forehead,'' free-lance hit-man Donald Frankos says here—and that's only one of many murders that ``Tony the Greek'' claims in these cruel, compelling memoirs, told to journalist Hoffman
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid= ... 220,917318
Frankos says that Salerno ordered Hoffa lured to a meeting in a subur ban Detroit Mafia safe house by Anthony Giacalone, a Detroit crime boss and Hoffa friend.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_p ... y_mobsters
Donald Frankos
Donald "Tony the Greek" George Frankos, (born November 10, 1938 Hackensack, New Jersey – died March 30, 2011 Dannemora, New York), was a Greek-Italian contract killer and mob associate of the Lucchese family, who later became a government witness. His father George Argiri Frango left his home town of Kardamyla on Chios, Greece in 1905 as a crewman on a ship.[275] George Frango married Irene, an immigrant from Syracuse, Italy and had three children: Georgia (1932), James (1935) and Donald (1938).[275] In 1974, Frankos murdered Lucchese associate Richard Bilello.[276]
In 1992, Frankos falsely claimed to author William Hoffman he took part in the murder of Jimmy Hoffa, with a hit team consisting of him and Irish-American mobsters John Sullivan and James Coonan.[277] According to Frankos's story, Hoffa was lured by his close friend Chuckie O'Brien to a house owned by Detroit mobster Anthony Giacolone. Once there, Hoffa was shot and killed by Coonan and Frankos using suppressed .22 pistols.[278] Hoffa was then dismembered by Coonan, Sullivan and Frankos. It has been asserted that he sealed the body in an oil drum and buried it underneath Giants Stadium; however, no evidence has ever been found to substantiate this claim.[279] Author Jerry Capeci found these claims false because Frankos was in prison during Hoffa's disappearance.[280]

After Push Back From EU Members, EU Commission Drops Anti-Encryption Wording From CSA Bill
Policy
from the finally-some-common-sense dept
Thu, Jun 15th 2023 01:41pm - Tim Cushing
Well, here’s some welcome news! It appears the EU Commission may have learned something from the less-than-wholehearted support it received following the introduction of its CSA (Child Sexual Abuse) bill.
The proposal hoped to curb the spread of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) by mandating (among other things) client-side scanning of user content. All well and good if the communications aren’t encrypted. But many of them are, thanks to companies offering end-to-end encryption by default to better secure users’ content and communications.
Sure, the bill had its defenders. One in particular (EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Yiva Johansson) has offered multiple incoherent defenses of the proposal that would, in effect

Open Access Makes Research More Widely Cited, Helping Spread Knowledge
Studies
from the share-the-knowledge dept
Thu, Jun 15th 2023 08:05pm - Glyn Moody
Open access has been discussed many times here on Techdirt. There are several strands to its story. It’s about allowing the public to access research they have paid for through tax-funded grants, without needing to take out often expensive subscriptions to academic titles. It’s about saving educational institutions money that they are currently spending on over-priced academic journals, and which could be better spent elsewhere. It’s about helping to spread knowledge without the friction that traditional publishing introduces, ideally moving to licenses that allow academic research papers to be distributed freely and without restrictions.
But there’s another aspect that receives less attention, revealed here by a new paper that looks at how open access articles are used in a particular and important

Where the Presidential Candidates Stand on F.B.I. Director
After the death of a longtime F.B.I. director, J. Edgar Hoover, and as part of the post-Watergate reform era, Congress created a system in which F.B.I. directors are to serve single, fixed 10-year terms rather than being replaced each time a new president takes office like an ordinary political appointee. In July 1993, William Sessions resigned early under pressure from President Bill Clinton after bipartisan findings that Mr. Sessions had used taxpayer-funded resources for personal use. In May 2017, James B. Comey Jr. was fired by President Donald J. Trump amid the early Russia investigation. Mr. Trump appointed Christopher A. Wray as director in August 2017, so his term is set to end in 2027.
If elected, would you allow Mr. Wray to serve out his term absent some new issue that has not yet come to public light?

Who is Portland Copwatch?
Portland Copwatch (PCW) is a grassroots group promoting police accountability through citizen action. Portland Copwatch, originally known as POPSG* was formed as a project of Peace and Justice Works (formerly Portland Peaceworks) in June, 1992. In January, 1992, Portland Police shot a 12-year old boy who had been taken hostage, and in April of that year, Los Angeles erupted in the wake of the Rodney King verdict. Since its formation, PCW has consulted dozens of groups and individuals locally and nationwide on the issue of civilian review of the police, assembled a broad range of reports, articles, interviews, and other resources; and written a "Proposal for an Effective Civilian Review Board."
PCW also participates in community forums on police accountability, and regularly attends meetings of Portland's "review board", known as the Citizen Review Committee of the Independent Police Review Division, and other bodies (such as the now-defunct [Police] Chief's Forum).
Since late 1992, we have maintained the Portland Copwatch incident report line for monitoring police behavior in Portland. We take reports and present complainants with options to seek remands in cases of police misconduct, harassment, and/or brutality

Body cameras can’t possibly solve all the problems of current US law enforcement. No single thing can. But even though body cameras have so far proven more useful to prosecutors than lawsuit litigants and accountability efforts, that doesn’t mean they’re mostly useless.
They’re still capable of creating incontrovertible evidence. That’s why prosecutors love them, even if cops don’t. And that’s why one Alabama cop is going to have to face a jury trial, rather than be allowed to bypass a civil rig

SS AND POLICE
Combining the SS and the police into one institution was an important step in the Nazi regime’s transformation into a powerful dictatorship. This SS and police system had the ideological radicalism of the SS and the executive authority of the police. During World War II, SS and police leaders were responsible for perpetrating the mass murder of Europe’s Jews.

Who is Portland Copwatch?
Portland Copwatch (PCW) is a grassroots group promoting police accountability through citizen action. Portland Copwatch, originally known as POPSG* was formed as a project of Peace and Justice Works (formerly Portland Peaceworks) in June, 1992. In January, 1992, Portland Police shot a 12-year old boy who had been taken hostage, and in April of that year, Los Angeles erupted in the wake of the Rodney King verdict. Since its formation, PCW has consulted dozens of groups and individuals locally and nationwide on the issue of civilian review of the police, assembled a broad range of reports, articles, interviews, and other resources; and written a "Proposal for an Effective Civilian Review Board."
PCW also participates in community forums on police accountability, and regularly attends meetings of Portland's "review board", known as the Citizen Review Committee of the Independent Police Review Division, and other bodies (such as the now-defunct [Police] Chief's Forum).
Since late 1992, we have maintained the Portland Copwatch incident report line for monitoring police behavior in Portland. We take reports and present complainants with options to seek remands in cases of police misconduct, harassment, and/or brutality

Body cameras can’t possibly solve all the problems of current US law enforcement. No single thing can. But even though body cameras have so far proven more useful to prosecutors than lawsuit litigants and accountability efforts, that doesn’t mean they’re mostly useless.
They’re still capable of creating incontrovertible evidence. That’s why prosecutors love them, even if cops don’t. And that’s why one Alabama cop is going to have to face a jury trial, rather than be allowed to bypass a civil rig

The FBI connected Faye with three undercover officers who played the parts of willing accomplices, and even assured the &#%!@?!% that they were definitely not law enforcement. Seems unsporting; Faye prolly thought that if you ask an undercover cop if they’re an undercover cop, they have to say “oh you have caught me out, drat.” Faye then went on to spout a bunch of crap about how citizens need to take on the corrupt federal blah blah blah who are intentionally letting undocumented migrants come into the US, because “great replacement theory” isn’t just a stupid myth, it’s a pressing reality in these chucklefucks’ minds.
